Upon retirement, he returned to his childhood home in Gimli. Leo involved himself in contributing to his community. Through carpentry, fundraising, bringing ideas to fruition and other forms of leadership he found a role for himself in the community. He was happiest when he was immersed in a project. He received many honours over the years including: Member of the Order of Canada, an honourary Doctor of Laws from the University of Winnipeg, the Lieutenant-Governor's Medal of the Institute of Public Administration, the Saskatchewan Cooperative Order of Merit, and membership in the Saskatchewan Agriculture Hall of Fame.
